Wow! This is a fantastic one coming from ma Igbo brothers.

Many of you will do better if you just shun hate and sentiments.

This is raw innovativeness. It doesn't work for those who are full of blame and hatred.

Again I say, congratulations to our Igbo brothers.

You gave your own inference.
Mt 19:9 you quoted
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
If the whosoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery except she was divorced on account of her committing fornication. It is simply saying that he is guilty of of committing fornication ie adultery if he divorced his wife and remarried for anyother reason except...
the same woman who is sent away except on the condition that she was adulterous if she marries another man is guilty. If Adultery is involved the man and woman divorced are free to re - marry is expressly implied.
But the problem with you folks is that you are quick to isolate only the divorced path and throw away the sequel which explained that the reason the people(the man) divorced was to go and marry another from that passage. Divorce and remarriage were inseparable in the discourse
Jesus didn't say any other thing about the fate of the divorced on account of adultery like death of partner. So don't go and add the words of Paul to it because it is a different scenario
Paul says the divorced should remain single except there is a death of a partner. He spoke of the flimpsy excuses that people divorced for in the prevailing Jewish culture of then. For him, such flimpsy excuses should not be entertained. Therefore, if one is separated from one's spouse the person should patiently wait as there could be chances of reconciliation, however, he didn't specifically mention the words of Jesus which dealth on the weightier issue of Adultery, which of course, he, Paul, cannot overrule.

coolcharm:
How can this people claim to be of God when they cannot practice Forgiveness and Love which are foundational to the Christian faith?

With what guts and conviction will they teach their congregation to forgive one another as Christ forgave the church?


When Men and women of 'God' cannont exhibit forgiveness and love which are fruits of the spirit, and coin out terms as 'irreconcilable difference' then you know that the devil has finally worn prada!

And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12

Let's focus on living a an acceptable life before God and leave all these bling bling and hyper prosperity pastors alone.

It is a common thing for Christians to wonder whether God still answers prays, and if He does, why does it seem as if He answers only some people. Christians need to realise that you don’t learn how to pray by praying.

You need to find out ‘the how’, if you are to receive from God always. The disciples of Jesus realised this and asked Him to teach them to pray (Luke 11:1). God longs to answer all our prayers, that’s why He said bmphatically, “ask and it SHALL be given you”. Now, How to ask and receive.

1. Know what you want.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, what wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight–Mark 10:51 God truly knows our needs but He wants us to specifically tell Him what we want Him to do for us. The blind man didn’t ask for money, so Jesus didn’t give him money but gave him exactly what he wanted, which was his sight back.

2. What does God say about your want
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified–Isaiah 43:26. God listens for His Words in pray. For you to ask and receive from God always, you need to pray God’s words. So search out what God says concerning that want or desire of yours before you pray.

3. Meditate and believe the scripture
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success–Joshua 1:8. Meditation enables you to truly believe and act on Gods word. It makes the scriptures real to you and helps you not to doubt no matter the challenge you may be facing.

4. Come boldly
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need–Hebrews 4:16 God is your loving father, so go to Him boldly in prayers. He is not a tyrant. He actually enjoys fellowshipping with His children and loves blessing them.

5. Enter with thanksgiving and praise
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name–Psalm 100:4. This is an important step on how to pray to receive from God always. No matter how pressing the issue may be or how much you cry, you can’t enter God’s presence without thanksgiving and praise. They are the only way to get God’s attention.

6. Ask according to God’s word
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us–1John 5:14 For God to hear you and then answer, you need to pray in line with the scriptures you have meditated on concerning your desire. Also, you must ensure that there is nothing that will hinder your prayers, for example unforgiveness. And of course you must pray in the name of Jesus Christ

7. Believe you receive Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them-Mark 11:24 This may be the hard part but it is the proof of your faith. You have to believe that God has answered you even before the physical manifestation of the answer. For you to ask and receive from God always, it is “believing is seeing” and “not seeing is believing”.

8. End with thanksgiving and praise
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen–Matthew 6:13 Thanksgiving and praise at the end is also an expression of your faith that God has answered you. Always start and end with praise and thanksgiving.

9. Declare what you believe
For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith–Mark 11:23 Now, that you are through with your prayers, there is need for you to start declaring that that issue is settled. People may mock you but as you refuse to give up your confession, the same people will surely return to witness the physical manifestation of your answer.

10. Be patient and stand in faith
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise– Hebrews 10:36 Our timing sometimes is not the same with God’s timing. Therefore, there is need for us to wait patiently for our desired answer to come. Also, majority of the time, the enemy will try to stop the answer from coming. This is why you must not quit believing until you receive your answer. Remember Abraham didn’t quit believing until he received the promise (Isaac) 25 years after the promise was made to him.

Can someone ask and receive from God always? Yes, if the person knows how to pray. As you follow the above.

Democracy and freedom of living is long dead in Nigeria

Only in one night DSS agents sent on the orders of Buhari and his uncle the SGF have gone to judges homes all across the country in the middle of the night to tear down down their homes with Slege hammers and bulldozers without any existing court orders.


Democracy is long dead in Nigeria


Buhari is a mistake that must be corrected on or before 2019

KINGMAKER001:
You should bury your head in shame...the world at large is watching...how can you detain a man for such a period of time even when the competent court of jurisdiction has ordered his release ? now you want to study the verdict the ECOWAS court gave? maybe we should bring microscope for you to see well....Politics of bitterness...This is dictatorship... I just thank God for death,its inevitable for every mortal no matter how powerful and influential you think you re,,you must face it someday.... I wonder if this was the reason why he was so ambitious and anxious to become the president...if you want to know the true nature of a man, give him Power and wealth!

evansjeff:
i hate it when people open their mouth out of ignorance, only print media and online journalists where barred from the centre, asked TV and Radio media houses if they were ever barred at any point, that's the problem with nairalanders, you conclude based on stories you read online, just for your info, I'm an inec official and I'm 100% Benin.

OreMI22:
[size=13pt]We already know APC is hell bent on using Buhari's cousin as INEC chairman to rig all the elections from now to 2019. Where they lost so badly that rigging would be impossible, INEC will declare the elections "Inconclusive"

The days where incumbents never lose elections no matter the will of the people is back. Nigeria is officially back in the 1950s type of leadership[/size]

MadeInTokyo:
International observers, who monitored Wednesday Edo State governorship election have expressed reservations about the conduct of the election, pointing out that they were not denied entry into the centre vote collation centre and that security operatives at the polling units looked the other way while politicians and their agents induced voters with money.

Prof Ahmed Ansari, head of the African Union Observer Team, asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to improve on the functionality of the card readers as he noted that the machine did not work in some polling units.

He said along with other international observer groups such as the American Observer team, the British Council and others from the Netherlands and Scotland, the full reports of their impression of the election would be submitted to the INEC and other important election stakeholders.

He said, “The turnout was quite impressive, but there were problems here and there. Another challenge was understaffing. We saw situation whereby only one staff was in a polling unit. That was not good enough.

There were reports of inducement. Every party complained about inducement which to me mean that all of them were guilty. The electorate are not supposed to sell their consciences. To the politicians, it shouldn’t be about money.



He further stated that “as the head of an international observer team, we were not allowed to go to the collation centres at a particular time. That is something we need to complain about. I asked who gave the instruction; who gave the order? It couldn’t be INEC.

“It could be, as they call it, order from above? But the security men told me that ‘sir, this is the order given to us.’ In every situation, one person is allowed to be there. Even when we delegated Victor (his assistant) to go in, he was not allowed to go into the hall.

He said, “He (Victor) was allowed to come within the compound, but was not inside the nucleus, where the whole the exercise took place, adding that “we should be there; we should get the result sheet. We should have a copy but we don’t have copies for now.”

On the rescheduling of collation of results, Prof Ansari said, “it could be for security reasons based on advice, but I didn’t know why they had to stop and leave it for a particular time. Of course, there was no call for it.”



When asked what security operatives could have done upon noticing that money was exchanging hands at the polling units, he said “that depends on the order they gave them.”

Also speaking, Christian Victor from the African Union for Economic, Social and Cultural Council, said many of the things observed in the field on Wednesday were not the kind of things that should happen in an election.

He said, “One of them is that everywhere we visited was filled with money flying around. Some people were fighting some voters for not voting the political parties they were paid for. It was very disappointing that this kind of thing still happens in the Nigeria’s political system.

“I watched the security agencies and it was clear they understood that monies were flying but for reasons best known to them they did not stop it. There were cases of young men, who looked like thugs, driving around during the election.

“They were never stopped by security agencies. That is wrong where there is a restriction of movement. I also saw wealthy people moving around in SUVs during the election.

I have been part of many elections and I have never seen a situation whereby observers and journalists are not allowed into collation centres.”

A local observer, Sadoh Danladi Sunday, stated that it was shocking that the results announced by the INEC did not tally with those his group got from the field.

Very very true. Where is the Change? Fools
According to the article, Amaechi is the biggest financier of Buhari`s campaign.
Where did he get the money ?
This is why EFCC keeps trashing all the petitions against him.

Lalasticlala, please do your thing. FP

richidinho:
Useless speech

barikay:
There is no clean-up going on in Ogoniland. I can provide pictures. These are all political talk to brainwash the people. Clean-up should be done on site not on the media. A country where govt deceive her people. If govt can lie to her citizens, what should the ordinary man on the street do? God have mercy on us.

blueto:
He has already started to show it with nepotism, selective corruption fight and so on. Buhari performs with words and not with actions, the president that performed in both actions and words was GEJ, he stated that his blood wasn't worth anybody's blood and he proved to be a man of his word when the time came. As the president, he was always the first to call and congratulate the candidate of the opposition party anytime they won in their states even when his party(pdp) kicked!.

Unlike buhari who claims to be for everybody but upholds marginalisation.

the point is, Buhari illustrated that he belongs to every and to nobody with words, while Jonathan illustrated he belonged to everybody and to nobody in actions. Buhari talks too much with little performance and that is why only the gullible and obdurate proponents are cajoled, indoctrinated and swayed by his words.
